Rodriguez Military veteran Thank you for voicing your concern about the use of tobacco products on APG. The use of tobacco products, to include electronic cigarettes, is “prohibited in all DA (Department of the Army)-occupied workplaces, except for designated smoking areas,” per Army Regulation 600-63, Army Health Promotion dated 14 April 2015. Paragraph 7-3a states a “workplace includes any area inside a building or facility over which DA has “We’re going to custody and control, and where work is performed by military personnel, civilians or persons under con- be in Las Vegas tract to the Army.” Designated smoking areas will be at least 50 feet from common points of entry/exit.

Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite Soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster, and fight harder than any other Soldier. Never shall I fail my comrades I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong, and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one hundred percent and then some. Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well trained Soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress, and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow. Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.
